YES. It allows you to do a quick check without your laptop if your AFR is still spot on by doing a short 3rd gear pull.

Reading the manuals, I believe I'm wrong about the LC-1 + DB Gauge combo not being able to log via laptop.

The DB guage BLUE wire uses the analog out signal (0-5v) from either the LC1 or the LM1. And I believe the LC1's connection to the PC is via SERIAL OUT so it should be fine.

For the DB Guage + LC-1

1) Connect the DB gauge blue wire, to brown analog output wire on LC-1

For the DB Guage + LM-1

1) Connect the DB guage blue wire, to white analog output wire on LM1

I guess one can also use the XD-16 but that's the expensive route if you only want a gauge + being able to laptop log.

In another note, the PLX SM-AFR device also looks nice 166$), or in a combo with their Single Gauge (238$.




Too bad EvoScan doesn't support it (anybody asked Hamish?). It hooks up to the PC via USB (has a Driver) and uses the device pictured below (1/8" plug connects between that dongle, and the Serial TX on the wideband controller) which costs 66$ - kind pricey. It uses FTDI drivers (so support for all operating systems is a given). I'm not sure if it uses VCP (Virtual Com Port), or D2XX mode (access via DLL, similar to how the OpenPort stuff is accessed). If it's VCP (most likely) then it's just a matter of parsing out the datastream packet being sent into the com port (similar to the LC1, LM1, AEM, ZT2).



Once i'm done with the Diff Viewer, I'll bug tephra and ask for his mitsulogger code. I'll then add dead simple logging support (bare minimum attributes) on the Diff Viewer + more widebands (ZT2, PLX, AEM, LM1, LC1 in that order).

Naji, SDEVO wants to buy my LM1 kit. Was wondering how you were getting boost via your XD-16?

Do you have the following setup?

LMA-3 (AUXBOX w/ 3 bar pressure nipple hooked up to intake manifold) connected to LM-1. LM1 -> 1st XD-16, then 1st XD-16 connected to 2nd XD-16, Finally 2nd XD-16 connected to computer?



Can he go with the slightly cheaper setup below?

LMA-3 (AUXBOX w/ 3 bar pressure nipple hooked up to intake maniflold) connected to LM1. LM1 -> XD16, XD16 -> Computer. The XD-16 will be setup to display Boost.

For the AFR gauge, he can then just use the cheaper DB gauge (hook the DB BLUE wire, to the LM-1 analog 0-5v WHITE wire).

Does this make sense?

The Zeitronix works great with Evoscan. That is the only one I use when tuning. It is very reliable and requires no calibration.

I like that PLX Devices version and or the new LCD Dynojet commander model.
As long as it has the 5 wire Bosch sensor or better though.
